Chaldean filly catches Group 1 eye

A unique individual went under the hammer at Inglis’ Great Southern Weanling Sale and was warmly embraced by the buying bench.

The first Southern Hemisphere youngster to be offered at auction by our exciting young stallion Chaldean was purchased out of Burnewang North Pastoral’s draft by former Group 1-winning jockey Scott Seamer.

Now operating a breeding enterprise in New South Wales, Seamer had the final say on the filly (Lot 218) by Frankel’s multiple elite level-winning son at A$180,000.

The youngster is out of the unraced Too Darn Hot mare Summerinthecity, a half-sister to multiple Group winner Need I Say More who was also twice successful in Hong Kong as Spirited Express.

Chaldean will be represented by two youngsters (Lots 3, 54) at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Weanling Sale at Karaka on June 25.
